id suggest running atleast a MBC.

I can agree with this guy and next guy. Hallman makes a awesome product i never had anyproblems on my last car held 24lbs all the way through redline.

Internal Wastegates set at 7 psi with a Blitz Electronic Boost controller.

Tried a manual boost controller and liked how it fooled the wastegates into thinking there was no boost till the preset limit. Made the boost build faster. The electronic unit seems more precise and I like the abilty to tailor the boost as needed.

A forged shortblock 370 is a the Machine shop. Once it's done, it will be great having a 8lb street setting and a 15lb "fun" setting.

AEM Tru-Boost here; nice controller, functionality wise, though the setup can be a bit confusing.
